Christmas at Durton Cliff [Creation]

Come and spend your Christmas holiday relaxing like a millionaire. This vast mansion, built into a cliff, has been dressed up for a season you won’t forget. Come and explore.

Explore a secluded billionaire’s paradise cut into a cliff on a private island. Accessible via bridge, boat or helicopter. Detox from the outside world in this resort sized house. At this current time, the majority of the exterior, other than the gold course, have been completed. However, the entire east wing (where sports facilities, forty seat threatre and four bedrooms are located) lacks an interior. The main complex of the house has a full interior.

It is at the bottom of the lift which you use to navigate to the east wing or the helipad in the main hallway of the house. It is still an undeveloped cave at the moment. I am focusing on completing the above-ground complex first prior to the bunker. Have a look at my Arctic Bunker on Planet Minecraft if you are interested in seeing what it will look like.

It is a large house and there is a lot of space. That is the point! The elevators are identical to all that I build, in every one of my maps, including my Jurassic Minecraft map. They operate with ladders and have no redstone. If you don’t like them, use the stairs!

This is an excellent and very well built map, but I can’t seem to get the teleport buttons to work, if they are teleport buttons. They’re little cut outs in the walls with a bit of glass and it has a button that says “library” “garage” etc. if you could fix that that would be awesome, thanks.

I must say that the whole thing was a bit of a mess. To start off I personally hate the texture pack, it is very confusing to use and is very laggy on my device, so I replaced it with a similar but less laggy one. Then I hated all the plants the creator used, the leaves on top of a note block, and yes I realize they use them in every one of their builds but I really hate them. The floor plan is very confusing and hard to navigate. I personally hated how the walls were made out of stone because it gave the whole build a felling that the creator was new to Minecraft when I know they were not. I was thinking in the mindset of it being a real house and how there was so much wasted space. I also didn’t like how there were so many places that signs mentioned that didn’t exist. Also, what were all the buttons for?

If you use the wrong texture pack, of course the house will not look as intended. I chose stone as Flow’s HD renders it in a way which suited this map. The note-block plant is a common design incorporated into nearly all of my modern maps. I like the aesthetic and you’re the only person in half a million downloads to complain about it. If you do not like the design, don’t download my maps!
This house is designed to be vast and difficult to explore. In reality it does have wasted space–it isn’t trying to be a space saving terraced house. It aims to be a sprawling modern monstrosity that is more than meets the eye. There are essentially two zones in the floor plan: the main house and the east wing linked by an elevator and a corridor. The main house will be smaller than the east wing by the end of the final update. This is the point. All of the large amenities a hotel could provide are hidden out of sight.
The signs with rooms that don’t exist–future updates. It doesn’t require great intuition to grasp this concept. I’ve used it in all of my builds for areas unfinished, as have other creators. The buttons used to have redstone functions–all have been removed due to the lag it caused for mobile players.

I noticed a area where you tried to make a natural pool or spring, and you should continue with that. I also noticed that you had trouble with getting it to stay unfrozen, try putting a layer of lava and then a layer of glass between the lava and water and it won’t freeze anymore.

Honestly, this is a very well built map, but the furniture behavior pack doesn’t work with the new version of Minecraft Win 10. Minecraft crashes every time you walk toward the mansion, unless you remove the furniture behavior pack. Otherwise, I really enjoy this map!
